Here Is A Little History On Wood Surfboards
by Ernestine T, Guzman
Many years after their original invention in ancient Hawaii, California surfboards have been modified, improved and customized into an amazing business whether they are wood surfboards or custom surfboards. Locally grown trees were used to craft the original wood surfboards that could become quite heavy as they were sometimes as much as fifteen feet long. Improvements and changes were applied to the design that resulted in the custom surfboards developing over the years with various shapes and using improved materials.
A surfboard is defined as a tool employed in the sport of surfing that appears as an elongated platform. The two necessary characteristics were that it was relatively light, but strong enough to support an individual who would stand on it while riding a breaking wave. That permitted much room for improvement as many participants quickly developed ideas of what could be done to the board to help it perform better.
There is a selection of options available today from which we can choose one of the famous California surfboards that include high performance state of the art features in the custom design. For the more nostalgic souls among us it is also possible to locate fantastic re-creations of the epic fine-wood and all-time classic surfboards. Assorted customization features can be chosen to best meet the needs of each surfer dependent on age, size or ability.
The original material that was used to craft surfboards was wood which was fitting of any classic design and known for its character and richness. Using today's advanced technology wood surfboards usually use either one hundred percent recycled EPS foam cores, which are made from the expanded polystyrene that is a very tough and rigid closed-cell foam, finished with epoxy resins or traditional polyurethane foam cores finished with polyester resin. In short you could conclude that composite technology that employs the use of foam and fiberglass is the material that makes our modern surfboards. When these types of materials are used it is possible to have complete control while the designer can also engage creativity.
Handmade boards can be shaped to fit the rider's ability and can also be customized for a specific location, which is recognized by the individuals who are creating wood surfboards with a versatile yet handcrafted quality. With assistance from major advances over the years contributing to improvements in materials as well as the addition of one or more fins on the bottom rear of the board, the custom design and handmade construction allows improved directional stability and great looking boards.
